Tribal Ban: South Dakota Governor's Border Remarks Spark Controversy
TL;DR
The Oglala Sioux Tribe has banned South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem from the Pine Ridge Reservation after she made remarks about sending razor wire and security personnel to the U.S.-Mexico border and suggested that cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations. The tribe's president accused Noem of using the border issue for political gain and disrespecting the tribe's sacred ceremonies. Noem responded, expressing her focus on federal law enforcement at the border and willingness to work with Native American tribes. This ban comes amid ongoing tensions between the tribe and the state government.
